What does Christmas mean to you? For me it’s all about being with my closest friends and family. Remember to be thankful for everything in your life, there is always something to appreciate.

Go out and spread some cheer!  Attend an ugly sweater party! Wish a complete stranger a “merry Christmas”. Smile when the cashier is checking you out! Bake cookies! Do whatever brings you joy and pass it on!

Try and give back to your community if you can… donate your time if you have it to spare! Make sure you don’t forget our creatures this time of year too. Go take a dog for a walk or pet a cat at your local shelter. There are so many ways to help your community.

Most importantly remember to be kind. Remember what it’s all about! This season doesn’t only speak to one religion it speaks to us all as humans… open your hearts and love one another!
